Only way I can get close enough to the deer, otherwise they would smell me and be off.<br /><br />Your Renault definitely is a lemon. Don't they have "lemon laws" across the pond? A car with all those problems would fall under the lemon law here and the dealer would have to make good the problems or replace.<br /><br />We've had a lovely warm week but it's to change tonight~ Gail H.

Secondly I surely hear you on your vehicle woes.. my Crabby Cabbie had 3 major problems with 2 of our vehicles all within 24 hrs ! He had barely made it home last nite as the transmission was going and the other one was still in the shop! and a new employee to be starting today. *Sigh* the one we are giving up on as it would be like throwing good money in after bad ... yes very costly vehicles are to have and there always seem to be a Lemon or 2 in the bunch.

Gorgeous little thing! It revived after 5 minutes or so on the bird table and flew off. <br /><br />But I noticed it had a strange white patch above one eye, so I can recognise it now when it returns. <br /><br />Take care in the weather, as you say more to come. rusty duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238493821002258459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-3480200556498321152012-11-23T19:00:43.394+00:002012-11-23T19:00:43.394+00:00Lovely photos - I love the moor in any weather (th...Lovely photos - I love the moor in any weather (though it's drier to look at your photos than be out in some of the weather we've had in the last couple of days!)<br /><br />Poor Trigger with the wind under his rug - I don't blame him for being so horrified. <br /><br />Great bird photos. What make is your new camera? When we finally move I intend to get a much better one than I have that does decent close-ups too. Glad that you got the Nuthatches at long last.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your Renault Megane. Sounds like the car from hell and I bet you can't wait to replace it. Meanwhile, much gritting of teefs . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
